I’m pleased to say that footpath MMH 96 in Box Wood is now fully open again and the diversion has been removed. The new steps are looking splendid and already offer much easier and safer access than the stone stile, though the lovely old stile remains in place as a feature of that entrance.

It may be necessary to close the footpath again very briefly when the metal handrails are fitted (they are being manufactured at the moment) but that will not be for an extended period and I will again advise you in advance if a very brief closure is necessary.

Thanks once again to you and the PRoW team for all your help on this matter.

Best wishes,

Steve Hemmings
